Watching Lu Jingnian and his father go to the study, and after the study door closed, Madam Lu, clutching the scarf in her hands, could no longer hold back and began to cry softly.
She dared not cry loudly, for fear of frightening Jiang Yue, and also for fear of being heard by Lu Jingnian and his father in the study.
Jiang Yue took out a handkerchief and handed it to Madam Lu. "Aunt Liang, it's not that Jing Nian doesn't care about you, nor that he doesn't want to acknowledge you. It's just that he grew up in a bad environment and has never been with real relatives. He doesn't know how to get along with you."
Give him some time…
Seeing Lu's father today, Jiang Yue knew that the Lu family had already confirmed Lu Jingnian's identity, so there was no need to pretend that she knew nothing anymore.
It's better to explain things clearly.
"I know……"
Mrs. Lu took the handkerchief Jiang Yue handed her, choked back tears as she wiped them away. “Yueyue, Auntie is so grateful to your family. I know that after what Anian went through, I was heartbroken. If it weren’t for your father, I can’t imagine what kind of life Anian would be living now.”
Jiang's father was truly a benefactor to their family.
“Your father not only gave Anian the opportunity to go to school, but also raised him to be so outstanding.”
"Jing Nian's success today is not only due to my father's help, but also because he is excellent enough."
If Lu Jingnian is an incompetent fool, even if Jiang's father helps him, it won't make a difference.
Madam Lu looked at Jiang Yue with tenderness and affection, liking her more and more as she looked at her. "Yueyue, Auntie wants to thank you especially. From the first time I met you, I could tell that Anian cared about you a lot."
At first, I thought it was because he liked you a lot that he cared about you so much.
But later, when I saw you buy him a motorcycle and defend him in front of others, I realized that your love was mutual.
"Because you are good to him and care about him, that's why he cares about you so much. You gave him a kind of favoritism that no one else can give."
...
In the study.
Mr. Lu looked at Lu Jingnian in front of him with some nervousness.
"Would you like some water?" Mr. Lu asked, his voice sounding somewhat restrained, with barely concealed nervousness.
Lu Jingnian: "..."
"Please speak your mind," Lu Jingnian said calmly, sitting on the sofa and looking at his father.
"I……"
Mr. Lu nervously rubbed his hands together. "I...you should already know about our relationship, right?"
Lu Jingnian nodded.
"We found out about it before you came to City A, but it wasn't confirmed yet. After I returned to City A yesterday, someone gave me a definite answer. I think you asked that person to tell me this, right?"
"yes!"
Lu's father did not deny it.
"I had someone tell you this news for no other reason than to let you know that you have a family, and that your mother and I have been looking for you and love you very much."
At the same time, I also want to do something I've never had the chance to do before: apologize to you.
"Apologize?"
Lu Jingnian was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, apologize!"
Mr. Lu stood up, walked to Lu Jingnian, and looked at him with utmost seriousness:
“I’m so sorry, my child. We are not good parents. Because of our negligence, you were stolen when you were still a baby, and you have suffered so much since you were little…”
At the same time, I assure you that I will not let any of the people who have hurt you get away with it. I will make them pay back double for all the suffering you have endured over the years.
Don't worry about Lu Yinian taking your place after you go home. In your mother's and my hearts, we will always only have one child, and that is you.
Lu Jingnian looked at his father. The man in front of him looked exactly like him, except that the man had a sense of vicissitude and the composure that came with the years that he did not have.
Mr. Lu was over fifty years old, with a lot of gray hair. He stood in front of Lu Jingnian, his thin back slightly bent, his face pale, his eyes red and glistening with tears. At this moment, he had completely lost the imposing manner that a person in a position of power should have. He was just an old father begging his son to forgive him and to come home with him.
Looking at his father like this, Lu Jingnian felt a pang of heartache. In fact, after learning about this matter, Lu Jingnian had never blamed them.
I accept your apology.
Lu Jingnian stood up, his hands clenched tightly under his sleeves. He wanted to go forward and help his father, but seeing that his father was standing steadily, he held back.
Mr. Lu didn't know what Lu Jingnian was thinking. When he heard that Lu Jingnian had accepted his apology, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
The fact that his son accepted his apology means that his son is willing to accept them...
"Thank you... thank you..."
Mr. Lu was overjoyed and wept, covering his face and sobbing softly. After so many years, his son had finally returned.
Judging from Lu's father's reaction, if he knew that Lu Jingnian wanted to help him up, he would definitely fall to the ground on the spot and let Lu Jingnian pick him up.
Lu Jingnian had never coaxed a man before, and he felt somewhat helpless seeing his father like this.
"You'll probably be staying in City A for a while, right? I'll bring Yueyue to visit you often when I have time."
As for the future...
When Lu Jingnian thought about the place he was going to visit in a while, the light in his eyes dimmed slightly.
Sometimes he felt like God was playing a joke on him.
As a child, he suffered abuse and had nothing. He lived like a walking corpse every day. Later, he met Jiang Yue, who was like a ray of light that illuminated his dark life.
He began to crave Jiang Yue's kindness and wanted to monopolize the warmth she gave him.
Because of Jiang Yue, Lu Jingnian began to feel that his life was no longer gloomy, but had begun to have color and warm light.
When he was with Jiang Yue, Lu Jingnian felt that even breathing was a joyful thing.
Now he has found his parents again and knows that they love him very much...
He had happiness within his grasp, but just as he was about to reach out, fate suddenly erected a barrier in his path, telling him that everything would be taken back.
Death was his final destination.
Lu's father stopped crying and looked at Lu Jingnian with red eyes.
“I asked someone to help me find a house in City A, not far from the compound. Your mother and I will move there in a couple of days.”
I've applied for leave from my workplace and will be staying with your mother in City A for a month.
I'm about to retire, and I plan to apply for retirement when I return to Kyoto.
Your mother and I have discussed it and decided that we will settle down in City A from now on, so we can be closer to you.
"You don't need to be in such a hurry, let's arrange these things now."
My job might be relocated in the future. Yueyue also mentioned that she might be moving to Kyoto and settling down in City A soon. Let's wait and see.
Lu Jing said softly.
The master that person had invited for him had already arrived, so there was no room for Lu Jingnian to back out now.
Lu Jingnian was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back, and that Madam Lu wouldn't be able to withstand the blow if she stayed in City A.
